Overseas examinations start times

Overseas examination venues can and do vary these times in order to fit in with their own institutional requirements, or to accommodate needs specific to the venue or to the country.

A few weeks before your examination you will receive a Final Notification of Examination Venue along with full address and contact details for your examination venue. Exam starting times may be included. Unless instructed otherwise, you should contact the exam venue to confirm your intention to attend the exam/s and to check your exam dates and times.
